Lime Mint Simple Syrup

You may remember in my post about Notorious Pink Rosé a few weeks ago, I mentioned how pretty the bottle was. I’ve been thinking of ways to use such a pretty bottle, especially since it comes with a pink glass stopper! Derek came up with an excellent idea, make a cocktail mixer that I can just keep in the fridge for us to use. Why didn’t I think of that! I wanted to make something that was easy to make into cocktails without having a bunch of extra stuff on hand. I decided on a mint and lime combination because it could be easily added to rum, gin, tequila and other spirits to easily make some tasty drinks!

Let’s get to it!

The hardest part about this syrup is juicing all the limes. :/ To make it easier, I leave the limes at room temp which makes them juicier. Rolling them also helps with this and I use a citrus juicer like this one if I’m going to be doing a large amount.
